While we were mingling around with other bloggers and enjoying our food, gorgeous Sabrina brought a good news for all of us. "Pick 2 gifts from the store and bring it home!"Couldn't hide the excitement upon hearing this and everyone quickly shop for their favourite items!

What is a gift if it isn't decorated in nice wrapping papers? XES is so thoughtful that they wrapped the items after we chose them, which is perfect if you want to give someone a surprise gift!

Our happy faces after we got our gifts wrapped and with the pretty Santarinas!

The drama has ended few weeks ago and sorry for the delay!! Maybe no one is waiting for this post but it's always good to list those songs that I love to preserve my memories after watching this drama~ ^^

창민 (2AM) - Moment

Lena Park - 마음으로만 (Only With My Heart)

박장현 & 박현규 - Love is...

As expected, this drama with dazzling actors and actress is a feast for us viewers while the drama unfold its storyline. Even as a lady myself, I'm really impressed with the beauty of Park Shin Hye (acted as Cha Eun Sang; third left) ! Not forget to mention about Kim Ji Won (acted as Rachel; first right) and Krystal (acted as Lee Bo-Na; second right)! Another character that might be forgotten as she doesn't appear a lot nor in the poster: Im Joo-Eun (acted as Jeon Hyun-Joo). All the flawless faces! *____*And the OSTs for this drama are really great! It perfectly portrayed the chemistry between Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang. It is difficult for them to get together because of the strong objection from Tan's father. Not a bad drama if you are a fans of Lee Minho and Park Shin Hye! However fairy tales.... We can only get them in our dreams. :<

The Heirs

"He Who Wishes To Wear the Crown, Endure Its Weight"

The weight of the crown can't be underestimated. There's always exist a dilemma situation in everyone's life despite how glamorous their life are, that you may thought. The heirs in the drama, they have their own difficulties and wish to get out of the current situation. But they couldn't do anything, they can't really live the life they want.

[Spoiler] In the end, Kim Won couldn't get married with the girl he loves, Hyun-Joo just because he wants to take over his father's company. How many person can bear with this? Separate with the one you love and live your life with regrets until you die?

Hope you enjoy this drama! It makes me realised that every decision you make now will affect the following path... And it goes on. So live your life with no regrets! :)

During younger days, I was curious why there isn't any ladies (those who are in their 20s) wear spectacles. I thought that their eyesight were so perfect and no doubt, I feel shame because I has been wearing glasses for years since primary school.Near to the end of my secondary school days, I finally knew the existence of contact lens. But I wasn't encouraged to wear it as it wouldn't help on reducing the power of my short-sightedness. And yes!! I started my faithful journey with contact lens after I finished my national service. Since then, I can't really leave home without it. I was (and still am) feeling grateful for this marvellous invention! Now that I'm older, lasik surgery has appeared in my brain dictionary and I would opt to go for that too. Wearing contact lens too frequently doesn't do any good to the skin around our eyes. Constant stretching of the delicate and thin eye area in inserting and removing contact lens can cause eye wrinkles. In other words, premature aging! But for the sake of beauty, I still can't resist to abandon them. :<Since contact lens has become a part of me, it really frustrates me sometimes when I need to go to optic shop to buy them. As usual, I will be asked to wait for their call to collect them. That means I need to make 2 trips before I can get the contact lens. Not to mention that sometimes I forgotten to drop by the shop when I go out. Suddenly thought about it when I reach home after a long day but I'm lazy to leave the house again. And I need to take note of the operation hours of the optic shop as well! :OWell, technology is so advanced now that we can even shop online! Best news ever for someone like me who prefer to stay at home. When it comes to purchase contact lens, here is an option;

MrLens is the largest online contact lens reseller in Switzerland and major parts of Europe, going global and they are now available in Asia too! You can get contact lens and glasses from their website with affordable price. It's very simple to place your order and get them to be delivered to your place!

You can register for an account if you doesn't have one.

It is very thoughtful of them to provide a column for you to fill in the details of your working company!

After registration, you can start to hunt for your favourite contact lens!

Remember to specifically select the power and the color you want.

For my case, I have to choose two boxes with the same type of contact lens since the power of each side on my eyes are different.

Prepare to checkout after you had made your selections! It is very important to double confirm the details of items that you want to buy before you opt to checkout from the shopping cart.

Check your shipping address and you are given a chance here to amend it if you wish too!Free shipping service is available for certain Klang Valley areas.

Select your payment options as well.

Lastly, you'll be led to check:

Billing address

Delivery address

Payment method

Shipping Method

Products that you chose

Total amount that you need to pay

Remember to tick the 2 options about T&C before you can confirm your order! And you're done with the ordering process.Now you can wait happily without worries for your contact lens to come to you! ^^***Frankly speaking, I am quite impressed with the delivery service. I received my parcel around 3 days after I ordered from them! Emails was sent to me to inform the shipping progress without the need to bug them. Wouldn't you feel happy when the company does the tracking work for you? :)Make your purchase from MrLens now!

Competitive, Fast & Reliable!

Finally some updates about myself. The guilt of not blogging that frequent... tsktsktskSometimes I do want to talk about myself in this space so that it's not all about campaigns/advertorials/sponsorships. My blog needs to have my own character inside right???If you had noticed my instagram posts, you'll definitely know that I bought a bag recently!It's my first branded bag which is from Hush Puppies and I really loveeeee it! Been searching for the ideal one for a long time and actually my first choice is a MBMJ. But come to think of it, for a student like me, you should get something that match with your status too. So I pause the thought of getting a MBMJ bag and find something else that would suit my taste.Didn't take specific photos of it, so here are some #ootd on the other days! Really love this shade of blue and it can easily match with my outfits! ^^

Getting a bag that is expensive takes me quite a long time to make the decision. I don't want to buy so many bags which I will eventually abandon them in my cabinet. After all, I always want to get a bag that can show my personality and enhance my look when I'm going out. And now I'm old enough to buy a good quality handbag like what my mum did lol. But I definitely can't compare to her level. Mummy is forever rich!!! T____TCan't wait for Christmas and New Year! Might be doing a post about resolutions? I know this is very typical and everyone will do a list of it every new year but never fulfil it..... But I guess I at least achieved some of it that I had set in the beginning of year 2013?And the end of December 2013 means I'm going back to my uni life! It's my final year and I have mixed feelings of it. Can't wait to get rid of the-life-of-a-poor-student but I want more freedom which I doubt I will have it when I'm officially a working adult.Bought some skincare products from Hishop and it had safely reached my place this afternoon! So happy to receive it and can't wait to try all of them! Note that I bought them on my own. I will do some product reviews if I find it worth to share. ^^ Feels so good when I know I'm at the right track to improve my complexion!Changed my blog header! What do you think? :) Taking a good picture is definitely not easy. Many aspects that need to be taken care of. Now I know becoming a model is hard and it requires a lot of skills. Not to forget about the photographer too.That's all for today! Hope I didn't make you bored after reading my words.

Thank you for reading! Feel free to leave a comment and I would love to hear from you! x

Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest storm recorded in history has hit the Philippines last month. It brought pain to everyone's heart.

But that also means a new year is approaching and reminding us to reflect ourselves. Or either to look it in a bad way; getting older. I prefer the first option as to motivate myself in whatever I do!To let this Christmas to be a rewarding one, The Butterfly Project - Beauty Bloggers is collaborating with Hermo.com.my to grant bloggers' wishes come true!

A fast-drying wash-off clay pack that tightens pore. Although I can use make up to cover my large pores, I would much prefer to cure this problem from the starting point. A great start which will make it to the success!

In this Christmas season, Hermo is having lots of promotions that will definitely delight all the beauty lovers out there!

As a fans of TVXQ/JYJ, I definitely wouldn't miss this album that was just released by Kim Jaejoong last month; WWW. It stands for "Who When Why". It is Jaejoong's first full solo album that is released in his 10 years of debut. Lets jump into the favourite songs that I couldn't stop playing them in my playlist!

Just Another Girl

Butterfly

Don't Walk Away (Feat. 용준형 of Beast)

Rotten Love

빛

Let The Rhythm Flow

9+1#

Surprisingly, as a person who doesn't fancy rock music, I didn't expect that I would love them as much as I do now. And my apology if there are too many songs here, as I listed down all my favourites in the album! It is like... 7 out of 13. The sequence doesn't do any thing, because I couldn't choose which song I love the most. :XOther than the songs, I need to admit that the gold packaging caught my eyes too. Gold has become my favourite colour recently! Maybe it's because I'm getting older, I prefer things which look more classy and exquisite.

Hope you enjoy listening! Will do a compilation of favourite songs in the current hit drama "The Heirs" soon! The show is still in the mid of airing and I believe there are more ballads to come. :)

Oops, another night that made me do some deep thoughts. Not emo or depressed, just some things playing in my mind and I would want to take the opportunity to jot it down in case I forget about it. Blogging is always a good way to make yourself (or just me) remember or appreciate things that happened! Human brain doesn't really have that much storage to remember everything that we encounter in daily life. Writing it down somewhere is a secure way IMO. U.U

Yes enough of that.Was browsing through the pictures I took with Alicia last week and edited a few! Finally we went out and it was the first time wearing my new love Topshop Joni Jeans. I can only say that it's sooooooo comfortable! Usually I resist wearing long jeans/pants but Uniqlo is an exception and now Topshop is in the list too! :)

#ootd

Went to Antipodean Cafe @ Menara Tan & Tan. Exploring time!

Too bad not much photos taken because the place was too crowded although the day we went was a public holiday. The exciting part is, Antipodean Cafe is available in Sydney too! lol I am very determined to bring my mum there to try their food and the nice ambience. :)

All Day Breakfast (Bacon)

Salmon/Roast Vege/Chickpea

Big Breakfast ( Beef Sausage)

Oh yay totally a happy girl to take some pictures with her favourite artists!

Korea Fair @ Isetan, KLCC.

Finally a mini photoshoot for both of us! Thank you to the invisible helping hand who doesn't want to be featured in my blog. :<

Mai big loveeeeeeee. x

Sometimes I wonder how will it be if I am given a chance to go back? Back in time. Looking at the photos that were taken during national service, form 6, travelling with buddies, having fun around. Technology is so advanced now that we can always keep in touch with each other although we couldn't meet that frequent. And I definitely miss the camp site that I went for my national service, it was a memorable experience. I was 18 and now 23 already! I really hope that I have a chance to visit again and see how the place looks like now. Yet things will be different even though you go to the same place again... #dilemma

What we did in the past led to what we are now.

Can't agree more with this. Reminisce the past couldn't change anything but just a guide to remind us: Do better in the future! Yes I know what I want and foresee myself in that direction. At the same time working hard towards it. Hopefully I won't regret!

Last Saturday was an enjoyable one! I was so happy when I received the invite to the hair pampering session at Bangsar two week ago. I always wanted to have my hair done (just to let someone to do something to my hair) for my birthday and coincidentally the session falls on a day before! Definitely in time for it and makes me so looking forward to the event. ;)Nowadays, hair fall problem doesn't seems to be a new issue right? Himalaya Herbal Healthcare now introduces two 100% herbal active anti hair fall solutions to curb hair fall problems. FYI, Himalaya is the only herbal brand that provides a full regime to prevent hair loss! In this day, our hair were being pampered by using Himalaya's Anti Hair Fall products.

I reached the place quite early and had some own sweet time for myself before the event started! It had been a long time since I have a good mood Saturday morning.

Rupini's is located at the 1st floor but it is not hard to find it. I was welcomed by warm greetings from Shirleen and Woon. And not forget to mention, to kill time, we bloggers were given a cross world puzzle to help us to know more about this herbal brand! It was a challenging morning brain exercise indeed. :D

Soon after that, we were given a hair analysis as well. I was quite nervous because I was worried I will be told that my hair scalp is in bad condition. Pretty much because of my impatient hair care routine!

During the analysis, Fatimah, the consultant said that it is a good sign if there are 3 strands of hair in a hair follicle, which I do! I feel relieved after hearing that and she commented that my hair scalp is quite normal, not too bad I presume? She advised me to continue take good care of it and I told her that I wash my hair two days once. Glad to find out that it is right to do so! :)

Next, we get to try Himalaya products!

A head massage using Revitalizing Hair Oil.

It nourishes hair with natural proteins, prevents hair loss, promotes hair growth and as well as control scalp itching.

Hair wash using Anti-Hair Fall shampoo.

This is a breakthrough 2 in 1 formula that provides root nourishment and strengthens weakened hair follicle. It conditions and improves hair texture to reduce hair fall due to breakage. Cleansing and conditioning in one step, I'm a #happykid to do this! :)

Post wash treatment using Anti-Hair Fall cream.

It contains Eclipta and Licorice that checks hair loss and stimulates hair growth. With the extracts of Chickpea and Amla, these two herbal ingredients are a rich source of natural proteins and vitamins to nourish hair from the roots.

Rupini's also provides a wide range of services. And thumbs up for those beauticians who take efforts to relive our gorgeous hair!

There were time for us to mingle around. It was my pleasure to know these gorgeous people! We'll see each other soon! :)

Woon did a great job in explaining about Himalaya products while we were having our hair done! Thank you for the great hospitality. :)

Before the session ends, Shireen from Sugar & Spice Communications gave a short speech and followed byJustin from Shear Perfection Salon sharing about the latest hair trends. It was fun having them at the centre as they brought us a lot of laughter and thus minimising the shy barrier among everyone.That's not it!We are so lucky to bring home some Himalaya products. Furthermore, we are given vouchers to be used in Rupini's and Shear Perfection Salon. Will come back for more services in near future!

Himalaya Herbal Healthcare products can be found in 21 stores nationwide. Go to your nearest store to grab the products and free from hair fall problems!For more enquiries,feel free to call Customer Care Line at 603 - 79567012 or visit www.himalayahealthcare.com .Thank you for the effort to make this event a success!

Eating is a happy thing to do when you can enjoy the meal with your friends and have fun! A big thank you to Jess & the team and The ...
